I have the 120amp ESC that is also 6s capable. Ran a 6s pack on it a bunch of times already and have no issues. ESC runs cool and it's provides great power. Great value for money.👍
@@laLOHALOful use low pinion gear to start. Keep motor temperature low. Remove the dean's connectors and use EC5 or XT90 connectors. Also motor should be 2000kv or less for 6s operation.
Do you haven't concern running Deans connectors with a 60amp limit on 4S? Doesn't 4S draw more than 60amps from your motor, possibly melting the connector? The reason I ask is b/c I'm contemplating building a 4S car but didn't want to change my EC3's to EC5's but figured I'd have to since the EC3's are rated low too.
Deans claim same resistence from memory as 12 guage wire. I have never had issues except if been on car a long time as if loose can be a bit of arcing - but so cheap just swap out new ones
Yes you can run one battery with a lead to loop them - search ebay and Amazon loads out there. Surpass do a very similar 120amp with single battery lead but I think the 120a is just 4S . The plug goes into one end of battery lead and battery in other. This is first one that came up on Google www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143993665475?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=sfjl3WB8SFG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=-8MRb6YxQXK&var=443272430248&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
The Surpass have instruction on the sheet in the box. Just involves teaching the ESC where neutral, full throttle and brake are on the TX takes 10 seconds
Hi, I no longer have the Surpass 150amp to do that comparison but Surpass Hobby are a well established major budget brand with a great track record and a premium range under the Rocket brand so you can buy with confidence, and the Surpass 150amp had a heavier feel. Not had chance to try the Platinium 150amp except on the bench as none hobby life has been in the way lol but I'll post as soon as I do.....
It was a long time ago I used this ESC. Not sure if this one does 2S. There is a 120amp version which may be 2-4S. Either way these Surpass ESC are great for the price
Hi could you help me please. when I turn on the Surpass Hobby 150amp ESC I am only getting steering to work, I have no throttle, motor wont turn over. my motor is good, I checked it in an other car. is there something I am missing or not doing right
Hi, thanks for the help before. but I tried everything and cant figure out how to calibrate the ESC. cant see it in the instructions. could you tell me how to do it please @@madhatterrcchats7164
Surpass Hobby stuff is great. I've had them right up to 6S and sold on later still working fine. I currently still have a baby 25amp Surpass in a 1/16th. Massive company premium budget brand and they have a Rocket range as well more up market. I'm not on commission lol but great value brand
You can run two 2S lipo to make 4S. I no longer have this ESC so cannot try it for you. The SkyRC TS150 runs 2S to 6S if you are looking for an ESC that does a wide range of batteries. I have both the TS150 and the TS150 Pro Competition (all aluminium housing). Great ESCs
Some sales listings state 3-6S but I only ever ran on 4S as per instructions. There is a 120amp version that runs 2-4S with a single battery plug... the 150amp have two battery plugs to use 2 x 2S or 2 x 3S. I'd asknin your cars forums if anyone using with a 3S?
ran mine on 6s didnt even last 3 minutes absolutely trash started a fire had to get new baatteries and a servo wouldnt ever ever recommend to anyone id suggest ARRMA AR390173 BLX200 1/8 Monster Truck 6S 150A Brushless Waterproof ESC Nero, esc its a little more on the expensive side but very worth it.
Just purchased one

If you're worried about deans then you should be worried about all the 12awg on all your battery packs too no matter the connection
Can you use a shorting plug on one side to run a single battery? Thank
You

Do you know how to set the throttle end points on this? Is it really to pull the throttle first before turning on the ESC?

Do you think it would work if I would like to have more playtime and go with 2S in parallel and no in serie to make 4S ?

I'd guess you may need to calibrate your ESC with your radio gear. Should be covered in the instructions of the ESC.

This esc can use 2 2s battery to make 4s am i right
Yes

Can I use two 2S batteries in this esc?

Hi, does it work from 3s battery?
Some sales listings state 3-6S but I only ever ran on 4S as per instructions. There is a 120amp version that runs 2-4S with a single battery plug... the 150amp have two battery plugs to use 2 x 2S or 2 x 3S. I'd asknin your cars forums if anyone using with a 3S?
I have now gone through twelve 6s, and eight 4s and ZERO ISSUE
Not tooo bad of an esc but you'd be better off saving up for a better esc and you won't regret it. It'll be like night and day.
I've got Hobbywing and SkyRC combos too and just bashing about for fun the Surpass is great quality and enough features I've found....
So I love the 120, just got the 150
But how do I only use just 1 6s lipo?
ran mine on 6s didnt even last 3 minutes absolutely trash started a fire had to get new baatteries and a servo wouldnt ever ever recommend to anyone id suggest ARRMA AR390173 BLX200 1/8 Monster Truck 6S 150A Brushless Waterproof ESC Nero, esc its a little more on the expensive side but very worth it.
Is there any way to just use one battery?
